SSI not working in apache root dir

Hi

I am on Mac OS X 10.2.8
Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Darwin)
Server built: 01/15/03 19:22:17

Below is a snippet of my httpd.conf

I have made my home directory (/Users/myhome/Sites) the apache root
directory
It was /Library/Webserver/Documents

I have subdirectories ... /Users/myhome/Sites/family/ in which I have web
pages that include a SSI header and a footer.
I use <!--#include virtual="header.html" --> ... etc for this
and of course this directory is served as http://my.server.com/family/

However files serverd from the root directory do not process the SSI
The file /Users/myhome/Sites/index.html which is served as
http://my.server.com/ does not process the header and footer. If I had
the wrong path (which I have checked anyway) I would see
"[an error occurred while processing this directive] " ... and I
don't.

In my conf file I have set it so that .html pages aswell as .shtml are
parsed.

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .html .shtml

Here is the snippet from my conf file ...

#------------------
DocumentRoot "/Users/myhome/Sites"

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/Users/myhome/Sites">
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#------------------

anyone know how I can get those Includes working in my root directory?

Thanx

Roger

Roger,

I had a similar problem, and I had to specify

Options +Includes

Give it a try.
